The ATI IXP/Conexant modem was initially not detected by PupDial. Running ScanModem, I was told to get the SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz and install it, which I did.

Running from console:

Code:

slmodemd --alsa --conutry=USA -r -d modem:1

I get a bunch of output, and when I run PupDial, it detects a modem at /dev/ttySL0. Great! So entering phone number, username, and password, (no dialtone,carrier, or busy check; yes stupid mode and auto reconnect) I hit connect and ...

Code:

NO ANSWER
--> Unknown dial response string.

Checking the dialtone checkbox, I get:

Code:

NO DIALTONE
--> No dial tone.

Further research showed that Lucid Puppies do not support software modems well. something about the kernel. Fluppy 013 with the 2.6.35.7 kernel just can't quite manage this modem yet, but I do know that things are just fine in 4.3.1 with the 2.6.30.5 kernel because that's where I'm writing this now.

I did notice that 4.3.1 detects the modem as being at /dev/ttySHSF0 and NOT /dev/ttySL0. I don't know if this is significant.

I feel I'm real close to getting this, but just need a little nudge to finish this, so I'm attaching the pmodemdiag and the ModemData.txt from ScanModem. Hope someone can help.

Here's some background information on Wary.
It basically picks up where 4.3.1 left off.
You can download Wary here.
(There's a k2.6.30.5 version available in the wary-5.1.1 folder, under alternate isos.)Last edited by Dewbie on Fri 02 Dec 2011, 22:36; edited 1 time in total

After reading Barry Kauler's comments on analog modem drivers here,http://bkhome.org/wary/ I'm guessing that for the time being, my meager effort to get my modem working in Fluppy 013 with the 2.6.35.7 kernel would be futile.

I'll add Wary to my kennel next time I can get to a fast connection. You can never have too many Puppies . Different dogs for different occasions.
